Don't wanna hear the noises on TV,
Don't want the salesmen coming after me,
Don't wanna live in my father's house no more
Don't want it faster, I don't want it free,
Don't wanna show you what they done to me,
Don't wanna live in my father's house no more
Don't wanna choose black or blue,
Don't wanna see what they done to you,
Don't wanna live in my father's house no more

'Cause the tide is high,
And it's rising still,
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

Don't wanna give 'em my name and address,
Don't wanna see what happens next,
Don't wanna live in my father's house no more
Don't wanna live with my father's debt,
You can't forgive what you can't forget,
Don't wanna live in my father's house no more
Don't wanna fight in a holy war,
Don't want the salesmen knocking at my door,
I don't wanna live in America no more
'Cause the tide is high,
And it's rising still,
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

MTV, what have you done to me?
Save my soul, set me free!
Set me free! What have you done to me?
I can't breathe! I can't see!
World War III,
When are you coming for me?
Been kicking up sparks,
We set the flames free
The windows are locked now,
So what'll it be?
A house on fire, a rising sea?

Why is the night so still?
Why did I take the pill?
Because I don't wanna see it at my windowsill!

Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
Don't wanna see it at my windowsill!
